4 legged mules

I am certainly no cowboy or horseman, but have owned and ridden a few over the years. Decided to go off of horseback earlier this year. I was bringing the dogs and my friend was bringing the mounts. When I showed up his son said dad couldn’t make it so you can ride his horse. This sucker was a high powered, work every day all day kind of horse.

First off I figured out he was going to lead the group, no problem. At the first bark, he pinned his ears back and hauled tail to the bay. At first I thought he was going to rub me off on a branch purposely, but did what I asked and avoided the tree. I looked back at Wyatt like “what the hell” and he was laughing. Said he thinks we have a cow bayed and he’s going to get there as fast as he can.

Continued the day hunting, no wrecks and he and I got along just fine. I had never ridden a horse that intense and it was a pleasure.

Old Man you are right. He knew when we were done and was ready for the trailer. It was parked on the other side of a government lake and we could see it. Walking toward the lake Wyatt yelled that I might want to turn him he’d swim me to that trailer if not.........
